Hi Bob,
The main problem with the DBAS package was the lack of source code.
I think that bug fixes were done from disassembles of the original code.
This is a great pity, as DBAS was one of the best packages around for
the QL.
Phil Borman's PBOX BBS software used DBAS to store messages and other
configuration data files.
I always wanted to convert my BBS system to a web site running on a QL.
Maybe a project for the future.
Regards,Derek

Dilwyn has www.dilwyn.me.uk/database/dbas.zip which is version 2.12

anything that can open arc files on my laptop here, so it might not
have what you want.
These are the sources for libdbas, the C interface library. Not very
useful I'm afraid.

Thanks both,
My ACP pretends to unpack the _arc but no lib files can be found.
C is not helping me anyway.
The demo program DBPTR does not seem to produce this bug and only uses
DATA_bin so that suggests the problem is in the Basic extensions of
DBAS_bin.
